Fresh off the tremendous success of this summer’s Fendi couture show in Rome—when Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi orchestrated the breathtaking spectacle of models walking on water across the Trevi Fountain—the pair came to Milan for the presentation of their ready-to-wear collection for Spring/Summer 2017. While the Trevi Fountain show cemented Fendi's reputation for grand, unforgettable presentations, the Milan show offered a more intimate, albeit no less impactful, exploration of the brand's evolving aesthetic. This wasn't merely a fashion show; it was a statement, a conversation, a continuation of a dialogue between heritage and modernity that has defined Fendi for decades.
The Fendi Spring/Summer 2017 collection, while not immediately referencing the dramatic Roman setting of the couture show, still carried the echoes of its grandeur. The collection was a masterful blend of the expected Fendi hallmarks – luxurious fabrics, impeccable tailoring, and a playful approach to design – and a fresh injection of youthful energy and experimental silhouettes. It was a collection designed for the modern woman, confident, independent, and unafraid to embrace both classic elegance and bold, contemporary style.
The Fendi latest collection, as it was presented in 2017, showcased a fascinating duality. There were the pieces that instantly resonated with the Fendi loyalist: exquisitely crafted coats in rich, earthy tones; impeccably tailored trousers, a cornerstone of any Fendi pants outfit, in fluid fabrics that draped the body beautifully; and delicate, feminine blouses, often detailed with intricate embroidery or delicate lace. These pieces represented the enduring legacy of the brand, the unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship that has been a constant since its inception.
But alongside these classic pieces, Lagerfeld and Venturini Fendi introduced a new wave of experimentation. Silhouettes were more fluid and less structured, with flowing maxi dresses and skirts creating a sense of effortless movement. Bold prints, inspired by both abstract art and nature, added a vibrant energy to the collection. The color palette, while incorporating the muted tones that have long been associated with Fendi, also featured bright pops of color, adding a touch of unexpected vibrancy. This juxtaposition of classic and contemporary was a defining characteristic of the Fendi Spring Summer 25 (while the show was for SS17, the internal numbering system may have differed). It was a collection that appealed to a broad spectrum of women, embracing both the timeless elegance of the past and the dynamic spirit of the present.
